Third in maiden/novice hurdles for Charlie Longsdon last spring. Left that yard since fading into a well-held sixth at Huntingdon in May. Makes handicap debut for a new stable.

Modest maiden. Best run in handicaps when second of 9 on 2½m Worcester reappearance, although he was beaten 24 lengths.

Fair form when runner-up sole outing in bumpers. Well beaten in 3 maiden/novice hurdles over 2m last month but appeals as a likely improver now handicapping up in trip. Market confidence could prove significant.

Fair ex-Irish maiden hurdler who ran best race for this yard when third of 6 at Plumpton in February. Below that level final 2 starts and might be best watched back from 7 months off.
